About two weeks ago, I decided to finally put together an art easel that the girls got for Christmas from Auntie Tamara. Amelia was really excited to start painting but I told her that I wanted to make her an apron first so that she wouldn't get paint on her clothes. Well, from that time forward, I was locked into making an apron. Keep in mind that even though my mom is a master at the sewing machine, the only things that I have managed to make are baby blankets and hooded towels. I have never made anything from a pattern before. Well, I went to the fabric store and I found a pattern that I liked that looked pretty easy but I was a fish out of water when it came to picking out fabric. So, I had my mom help me with that part. Yesterday I decided that I should probably start making Amelia's apron so that she could stop asking me when I was going to make her apron. I had dawdled long enough. After reading through the pattern directions a couple of times, I got brave enough to actually cut out the pieces. Then after the girls went to bed, I started sewing everything together. It took me about an hour and a half to get it all done but it turned out great! Now I just have to do Ashley's apron. Luckily, she is too young to ask about it every day until it is done.
